Many of the residents of
Grenada look favorably on the
U.S. invasion after last week’s
bloody left-wing coup, a visitor
to Baytown from the small
Caribbean island said Thurs-
WASHINGTON (AP) - Presi-
dent Reagan, declaring “we are a
nation with global respon-
sibilities,” says U.S. troops are in
Lebanon and Grenada to protect
America’s interests against a
Soviet “network of surrogates
and terrorists.”
The president went on nation-
wide television Thursday night to
address the concerns of an
American public shaken by the
startling deaths of more than 200
Marines and sailors in Beirut and
the Invasion of the tiny island of
Grenada.
In strong terms, he defended
U.S. actions on both fronts and
blamed the Soviets for encourag-
ing the troubles in Lebanon and
Grenada.
“The events In Lebanon and
Grenada, though oceans apart,
are closely related,” Reagan

“The world has changed,” he
added. "Today our national
security can be threatened in
faraway places. It is up to all of us
to be aware of the strategic im-
portance of such places and to be
able to identify them.”
Reagan said he ordered the in-
vasion of Grenada because of an
urgent request from that Island’s
neighbors “that we join them In a
military operation to restore
order and democracy in Grenada.
paramilitary forces on the
island.”
And he noted that 7,000 Soviet
advisers and technicians are In
Syria, which, he said, “makes no
secret of its claim that Lebanon
should be a part of a greater
Syria.”
He opened his address with a
reminder of another Soviet act:
“Some two months ago, we were
shocked by the brutal massacre
of 269 men, women and children,
more than 60 of them Americans,

About 2,000 U.S. soldiers,
assisted by troops from six
Caribbean nations, invaded the
island Tuesday to protect
about 1,000 Americans 'there,
including about 750 American
medical school students, and to
answer a call for help from
some of Grenada’s neighbors,
according to Pentagon reports.
